I won't be surprised of this being the case on the orange site but the downvoters will probably gaslight you for not having evidence of this; hence the downvotes.

As for Twitter, there's no question of the evidence of this bias. The Twitter CEO previously just admitted to this: 'I fully admit our bias is more left-leaning' [0]

Looks like the cool kids want their echo-chambers back.

The HN crowd is by and far away neoliberal leaning. Neoliberalism is a center right ideology, not left.

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden are all solidly neoliberal, so the mistake is understandable.

The challenge is discussing these issues without mentioning this explicitly. Hard to get someone to consider your opinion when they read your comment as an accusation.
